Moving on up

Yesterday was finally moving day. I won’t be moving into my new apartment until this summer, but my sister is moving in now.

We moved a ton of furniture into the apartment. Luckily we hired movers to do the job, because I’m pretty sure if my family tried to do it we would all throw our backs out.

We were fortunate in that we inherited our grandparent’s old furniture. Since they passed away, it has been a struggle to sell off the furniture but seeing as me and my sister are 17 and 22 we don’t have a ton of cash to spend on furnishing our new living quarters, so it worked out great for us. Still, it is strange to see everything that was in their home now in ours. It’s almost like there is a piece of them there with us.

My sister and I have been brainstorming about how to decorate our new place. We’re concidering an Aztec theme for the living room. We’re thinking a cool Aztec patterned rug, brown slip covers, and orange, teal, yellow and red accents in the room.

For my room, I just got a great deal on a yellow, black, teal, and white floral comforter at Target. I want to get decorations within that color scheme; maybe yellow curtains and a black area rug?

My sister is doing a yellow black and white room. I’m not exactly sure what her plans for the room are yet.

As for our bathroom, the tiles on the wall are purple, which we hate. We’re thinking our only option is to do black and white accents in there.

Our kitchen was in pretty rough shape when we got the apartment, but my sister has done a great job of fixing it up. We have our grandmother’s duck canisters in there and they look adorable. We might even make the whole kitchen duck themed!
